Aruba, known for its beaches, also boasts a rich cultural landscape particularly found in San Nicolas. This city's history as an industrial hub and red light district is being revitalized through efforts like ArtWeek Aruba and initiatives by locals such as Tito Bolivar, who aim to reclaim its cultural significance. With colorful murals narrating the island's heritage, San Nicolas reflects a diverse community and serves as a symbol of resilience and reinvention, showcasing the joy and spirit of Aruban culture.
San Nicolas used to be one of the most important places in Aruba, but it's become a forgotten city. I wanted to bring light, art, and culture back.
The goal was to rebrand San Nicolas as the 'street art capital' of the Caribbean, celebrating Aruban culture through murals and art.
